Simple Speed Dial is a Chrome extension designed to replicate the popular Opera speed dial functionality. It offers quick access to bookmark folders, allowing users to add, delete, and reorder bookmarks easily through drag and drop. The extension includes features such as synchronization across computers, customizable icons, and background colors, making bookmark management simple and efficient.

With performance improvements and a clean interface, Simple Speed Dial fills the gap left by the lack of a native speed dial in Chrome. Although thumbnail generation is handled by a free external service limited to HTTP pages, advanced users can configure this service as desired. This extension is especially useful for users transitioning from Opera who want a familiar and straightforward speed dial experience in Chrome.

salve, come è possibile esportare un file di configurazione per poterlo importare in un altro pc? grazie

Самый быстрый и удобный оргнайзер стартовй страницы в браузере. Показывает папки существующих закладок! Не хватает только фоновых обоев, но то такое, не главное.

Wonderful! There are some features I would like to have. ・Use images in the background (local address and URI) ・Apply images to each folder individually ・Select EDIT mode or normal use mode (I often move or delete by mistake)
